Any help with what this flower is from Wygant Peak last Sunday? I’ve not seen it before.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Adam, not sure I’ve seen that one before. It appears to be “uncommon” in the quick look I just did.

Is it native to PNW?

Yes, according to some quick research, but "uncommon". It mentioned the east end of the Gorge, which is exactly where I was.
